Charles, this topic has been discussed in length in several different threads over the years, do a search and read some of them.I always advise people who are new to learn themselves how to estimate repairs so they have a basic understanding and over time, you get better and better at it.I also have uploaded a document here on BP (go to the resources tab at top and under the drop down menue is "fileplace".
